Wales are willing to play the Pumas at home if their planned tour of Argentina is called off because of the coronavirus pandemic. Reigning Six Nations champions Wales are scheduled to play two Tests away to Argentina in July. But British government travel restrictions threaten to scupper the tour. "It (Argentina) is a red (list) country, which means the players coming back would be faced by a hard quarantine where you live in a Heathrow hotel for 10 days," Welsh Rugby Union chief executive Steve Phillips told reporters on Wednesday. "It would be pretty tough going on the back-end of a long season, and you then butt into player-welfare, player rest and the start of next season. "So we will be speaking to Argentina and asking if they would like to come to Wales. We would be happy to host them and contribute towards their costs." Phillips added Argentina would not lose out financially if they travelled to Wales. "The way that the World Rugby schedule works is it is our obligation to go to Argentina, it is their home match and income. "We will try and put Argentina back in the position they were in as if they were playing at home. "The fundamental thing is we desperately want to play two or three Test matches this July, because we lost the tour to New Zealand this time last year. "World Rugby are very supportive, and it's about trying to come to an arrangement where everybody ends up in a place that they are comfortable with." The United States, Canada and Japan are possible alternative tour opponents for Wales. jdg/jc
